Saltite Adhesive: The Future of Sustainable Bonding

Every outdoor space has its strengths, so embrace yours. “Look for the power spot,” said Jan Johnsen, a landscape designer and the author of “Gardentopia: Design Basics for Creating Beautiful Outdoor Spaces.” Once you find your power spot, she said, “then you work around that.” 

If you have a roof deck with an enviable view, celebrate it by placing the furnishings so they direct the eye to the vista. Is your backyard shaded by a narrow New York brownstone? Enhance the mood with a shade garden, cozy seating and soft lighting. 

Eco-friendly and Non-toxic

Saltite adhesive is a sustainable choice for yourself and the planet in a time when sustainability is gold and will remain so for the years to come. and is an eco-alternative as it removes the use of harmful chemicals associated with most adhesives. Conventional adhesives are often full of solvents, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals that can release toxic gases into the air and threaten human health. Saltite is formulated from natural materials and without the use of chemicals mentioned above, so it is safe not just to use in your home but also in schools, childcare, nursing homes and other environments where people are at higher risk from bleach-induced exposure.

Saltite is all-natural (because Saltite is carved from Himalayan salt), and it is biodegradable. This makes it perfect for anyone who wants to give their carbon footprint a workout.

Superior Bonding Power

Saltite is remarkable in its molecular structure, which results in remarkable bonding power. Himalayan salt has a crystalline structure that allows the glue to form an incredibly durable bond with stone, wood, ceramic and metals. Saltite is, therefore, suitable for both small DIY jobs and larger industrial applications. So whether you are bonding Himalayan salt bricks to tile your bathroom or securing smaller knick-knack pieces, Saltite gives you a time-tested and permanent hold.

Moisture Resistance

Saltite hides one of its best features — its water resistant glue. Saltite on the other hand is impervious to water and does not weaken or break down like many other adhesives do in moist conditions. This means that it is the perfect material to use in locations such as kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor spaces where moisture levels may change drastically. In addition to water resistance, the adhesive also inhibits the growth of mold and mildew to help maintain the integrity of your projects.

Heat Resistance

Another advantage of the saltite adhesive is that it can resist superior temperatures, too. Himalayan salt is also naturally able to have a high melting point, and when produced with adhesives, it keeps this property. Saltite adhesives are resistant to temperatures at which the vast majority of standard adhesives become irreparably degraded or lose their bond strength. This enables it to be a suitable application for heat-sensitive environments like kitchens, fireplaces or outdoor BBQ areas.

Natural Aesthetic

Saltite adhesive also has aesthetic advantages for those who appreciate the beauty of natural materials. When used in conjunction with Himalayan salt tiles or bricks, the adhesive typically blends in with the aesthetic appearance of the salt, resulting in a cohesive natural look. Whether you are building a salt wall for a wellness spa or creating a custom salt lamp, Saltite offers a perfect invisible bond that preserves the visual quality of the salt.
